Female -- Controversial: for similar reasons that being male is controversial. Being a woman means that people are going to stereotype you.

White --While you can't help what you are, white guilt still factors into everything. And in opposition to what my WMST teacher suggested, I am highly aware every day that I'm white, because it has constantly been brought to my attention.

Christian --We hold these truths to be self-evident...that most Christians don't act like their savior. Besides that, in a multiculturalist society, it's hard to lay claim to any one religion without backfire.

Feminist --One, I'm Christian and feminist. Enough said. Two, there are too many people who view feminism in a negative light (and that feminism mostly brings upon itself). Radical feminism has made a mockery of real goals.

Journalist -- Do you know how cool it is to get to talk to all these different people on a regular basis, and learn their stories? It's inspiring and empowering.

Irish, German, British, Cherokee -- Though I could launch on a tangent for each of these, and they culturally deserve it, it's easier to put them together, as together they do make up me. I identify primarily as Irish-German, as I know the most about my culture from those two lands. But I wish I knew more about my British and Cherokee ancestors, especially my Cherokee great-great-grandmother. That knowledge is lost to me, because when she married my great-great-grandfather, who was Irish, she was banished from her tribe. In her culture, that meant she wasn't allowed to speak about her past and people anymore.

Pierced -- People who have piercings, especially facial piercings, are often looked down upon.
